[Design] [Cosmo] Cosmo UI for Preview and Post Preview

[Priscilla Chung]

PLEASE REVIEW BEFORE DECEMBER
Please download the .ppt slides:
http://wiki.osafoundation.org/pub/Journal/ 
NiceToHaveProposalsForPreviewCosmoUI/CosmoUIChrome_NTH.ppt

or the .pdf files (listed in the wiki page) as a slide show to review  
the designs we've been iterating for Cosmo UI in Preview and post  
Preview.

We're throwing out these proposals with the knowledge that it's too  
much to accomplish in the short amount of time we have left. However,  
we wanted to provide a high level picture of where we might be headed  
post-Preview, while staying within the confines of the Casual  
Collaborator workflows we've identified for Preview.

Some question we have for you are:
+ Are there things in here that we need to address sooner rather than  
later because they affect 0.6 development in some way.
+ Do you see any major issues with the proposals?

We've also tried to list out all the features for Preview. This list  
is compiled from a design perspective, so we will need help from  
Engineering to fill it out to reflect all the features that will need  
to be implemented to support the UI.

NEXT ACTIONS
Our next course of action is to review this as a group in early  
December. We'd like to understand what features are possible, what's  
really hard, what's trivial. We will then go back and come up with  
another proposal based on the feedback, but then it would be good to  
come up with a coherent set to map on a stickie plan.

ADDITIONAL/BACKGROUND INFO.
Please also note we did some design explorations in terms of  
prioritizing the 'nice to have features'. Here are the wiki pages  
that describe the bare minimum proposal for Preview:

Initial explorations for the Nice-to-have proposals. Purely for to  
see how we've been iterating:

OK. There is a lot here, so just list out some open issues if you  
have any on the wiki page and we'll go over them in December.

Thanks, -Priscilla
